The Kikay Kit Bare Essentials

I am a self-confessed make-up junkie!!! :))) I just LOVE them. So over the years, I have spent thousands upon thousands of pesos just on make-up alone. Although, I don't necessarily use them just because I suck at applying them on my face. It really is an art and boy if you knew me well enough, you'd know that I am no artist. Haha! But still, I proceed to buying more and more make-up products that I don't need just to satisfy that inner womanly urge I get from time to time. Okay that sounds a bit weird. Haha! Anyway, I'm glad that I was able to watch this segment from Etcetera regarding every girl's kikay kit must have that could take her from day to night. The explanation was simple and sensible enough that it might actually lead me to the path of enlightenment. Haha! Since I want to take you all with me, I have written below the "bare essentials":

1. Concealer 

Say goodbye to your blemishes, eyebags, and uneven skintone! Well, at least for the time being. Haha! With this wonder stick/cream we can all achieve that flawless picture-perfect complexion!

Tip: To cover under eye "problems", use a concealer with one shade lighter that your skin tone. :)

2.  Dual Powder Foundation 

Use it dry for light to medium coverage and wet for heavy coverage.

3. Blush 

Add instant color and glow to your face with a blush that comes in a pretty color. Just stroke your brush in upward outward direction!

4. Eyeshadow

To accentuate those pretty peepers, apply eyeshadow in neutral or brownish tones on the crease of your eyes.

 

5. Eyeliner 

To add depth to your eyes, add eyeliner! Don't stress yourself out to get it done perfectly right away. Take your time. 

6. Mascara

Mascara gives the illusion of long full luscious lashes! 

6. Eyebrow Pencil 

This is essential in framing the face so this is of great importance! :) Just make sure to stick to a brown shade!

7. Lip Balm and Lipstick

The lip balm keeps your lips hydrated and serves as a base for your lipstick. :) 

Tip: When choosing a lipstick color, choose a shade closest to your natural lip color. :)

8. Loose Powder

Dust a bit of loose powder all over your face to tie the whole look together. 

And finally! To turn your look from day to night, all you need is: 

9. Smoky Eye Shadow 

Just brush this on the crease of your eyes and blend! blend! blend! 

Tip: Choose a charcoal shade for an intense effect without looking like you have a black eye. :))

So what do you think guys? Easy enough to pull off right? Not only that, it will give you more space in your bag for your other things and save you a lot of money. Sounds great to me considering I bring about 10 different lipsticks in my kikay kit  Haha! :)
